This is a great copy-cat recipe that I've found on a few sites. It doesn't taste EXACTLY like Buca's recipe...but is pretty darn close. I've used it a couple of times & this is what I suggest. 1) To the reviewer who asked if you remove the chicken from the pan before making the sauce-- Yes...you do. You can also brown the chicken & then move it to the oven to finish cooking while you work on the sauce 2) For making the sauce I also start with a clean pan & do a "clean roux" with flour & butter instead of the "dirty roux" of oil/browned pan bits. Mainly because whenever I make this recipe I'm doubling it to feed a crowd...and too many dark brown pan bits = bad overall taste with a creamy sauce. 2) I also find the sauce to be too acidic as this recipe is written-- I increase the amount of butter/cream that is added to it (close to double), and decrease the amount of wine & lemon juice. Taste it constantly while you are making it (using clean spoons)--you will know what it needs more or less of to make it taste like Buca's.
